Ruled by the bell

You're a Slytherclaw!:
By nature you are rational and a realist. Some people may call you cynical and elitist but this doesn't matter to you. You don't depend on other people's opinions to determine how you live your life. You are generally cautious and prefer to weigh the consequences before you act. In conflicts you prefer to remain neutral and aloof. You value intelligence and you are a natural diplomat, you can convince people to do what you want them to do. Your weakness is that you sometimes think more with your head than with your heart and it leads to isolation. With the intelligence of a Ravenclaw and the subtlety of a Slytherin you will be sure to achieve all your goals!

Yay! That's exactly what I've always wanted to be!

School was ok today, but I am very nervous about teaching. I'm going to talk about a song with the class. A song. Me, of all people. I am a musical illiterate. But since we're only going to interpret the lyrics, it will be alright, I suppose. Sigh. They are discussing runaways at the moment, so the song is about a runaway as well, and it's not even "Runaway Train". Consciousness-raising for social issues, yeah.

I never knew how much work teachers put into preparation. And yet, it seems as though people were sometimes overdoing it with their zealous attempts at using the most modern didactic methods and introducing topics in a fun way. Apparently, some of those teachers don't really know what a fun way is for students. Not that I know, but I wouldn't tell the students there was something coming up that was "fun", anyway - you should have seen the savage pleasure with which the students laughed at the poor teacher when they saw that it was not what they'd call "fun".

The school is a very strange little world. Like the kindergarten, it seems to be extremely... structured by rules which apply nowhere else. In a way, school is even more a separate world than the university. Maybe because it is even less concerned with the outside world, but also because it is so small. Sigh. Small and ruled by that bell. It still tends to send shivers down my spine when it rings and I am not in class, making me feel I am late somewhere.

I am scared of Tuesday. But then, others have done it before me and a great teacher is in the class with me, what I have to do is comparatively easy - so what could go wrong?
...apart from me making a complete fool of myself, the children laughing at me, me being so nervous I talk too quickly again, me not speaking loud enough, the kiddoes thinking I am incompetent, the teacher thinking I am incompetent, me making a lot of mistakes....ah, well. Will stop moping now. When Crocky was doing it, she didn't mope around, either. She's my official role model.
